At the Democratic Election (ΔΕΘ) event in 2026, PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis emphasized the party’s goal of achieving political change through independent action rather than cooperation with the New Democracy party. He stated that the first priority is to secure a strong position in the upcoming elections, rejecting any alliance with the ruling party. Androulakis criticized the current government and former leader Alexis Tsipras for their policies, accusing them of failing to address economic and social issues.
In response to Androulakis’s remarks, PASOK’s spokesperson Kostas Tsoukala accused government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis of spreading misinformation and promoting toxic rhetoric. Tsoukala called for transparency and accuracy in political discourse, accusing Marinakis of distorting the party’s economic proposals. The exchange highlights the growing tension between PASOK and the ruling New Democracy party ahead of the elections.
Androulakis also addressed the issue of corruption, stating that citizens are aware of the consequences of the New Democracy’s governance. He warned that continued rule by the party would lead to further financial burden on the public. His speech underscored PASOK’s commitment to political independence and a clear stance against corruption, positioning the party as a challenger to the current government.
